Dems Plan To Scuttle Space Force.......
Free Beacon ^ | 9/23/2021 | Jack Beyer

Posted on 09/23/2021 7:32:29 PM PDT by caww

House Democrats on Wednesday introduced a measure in the 2022 defense budget to eliminate the Space Force.

Rep. Jared Huffman (D., Calif.) led a resolution, cosigned by fellow Democratic representatives Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Mark Pocan (Wis.), and Jésus García (Calif.), to "abolish" America's newest military branch. The measure received support from the Koch-funded National Taxpayers Union and radical anti-war groups such as Peace Action and Demand Progress.

The push to defund the Space Force comes as China increasingly threatens the United States. Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall said Monday that China is developing means to bombard American targets from space.

China has launched satellites and a space station, threatening American dominance in space. Simulated war drills show that Beijing would likely exploit American vulnerabilities in space as a first move in a takeover of Taiwan.

Grey Space Aliens: Ha. Our plans will be invincible now for domination of the universe. Only the Trumpists stood in our way. Our agents Schiff and Pelosi took care of him. Now the earthlings are ripe for conquest.

The Domestic enemy party strikes again. Maybe we can trade in the democrats for a party less hateful towards the USA like the TALIBAN or AL QAEDA.

Do these Democrats from California not realize the majority of Space Force employees and assets are in California? Do they enjoy hating their own citizens?

The answer is, yes they do. The follow-on answer is, they could not possibly care less. Modern-Day Democrats HATE our country. They hate this country with a mindless passion. They HATE all who Love our Country.

They’ll eliminate the Space Force, call it the Space Navy and claim it’s their idea.
